#Rayman legends online co op series

This is immediately less novel than the GamePad version, where you can switch to controlling Murfy entirely via the touchscreen if you want вЂ“ or have someone else do it if youвЂ™re playing co-op. This of course is impossible on the other home formats and so instead the computer controls him and you just press a button when you want him to do something (like cut the rope to release a bridge or distract an enemy). Murfy is the focus of many of the GamePad-specific features in the Wii U version, where as well as making use of the controllerвЂ™s motion sensors another player can control Murfy directly by using the touchscreen. The choreography is amazing and we wouldвЂ™ve quite happily have played a whole game based solely on that idea. These use cartoon-ified versions of real songs (Black Betty in one particularly memorable stage) as you try and jump and punch your way through the stage in time to the music. The pinnacle of this cross-genre pollination is probably the musical stages that play out at the end of each world.

ThatвЂ™s an old trick for the series though and Legends eagerly piles on new features such as levels more focused on shooting, puzzle-solving, stealth, and just about every other game genre imaginable. There is a vague attempt to pretend thereвЂ™s a story tying everything together but thankfully itвЂ™s one you can completely ignore as you control Rayman, Globox, the generic Teensies, and the new Valkyrie-like Barbara.ДЄs ever the platforming feels a little floatier than the Mario Bros., but the controls are nevertheless precise and reliable вЂ“ with RaymanвЂ™s spinning haircut still allowing him to glide gracefully through the air.
